Watch: How to survive a zombie attack, according to zom-rom-com <i>Warm Bodies</i>

Surviving a zombie attack doesn't have to mean locking yourself away in a maximum security prison like The Walking Dead — check out this hilarious clip from Warm Bodies, featuring About a Boy and X-Men: First Class star Nicholas Hoult and Aussie actress Teresa Palmer showing us an easier way to survive.

In the clip, we see zombie "R" approaching a petrified Julie on an airport tarmac and touching her face suggestively with bloodied fingers.

He then shows his new friend how to act dead to avoid zombie assaults — with hilarious consequences. Watch above.

Warm Bodies is a genre-bending, "zom-rom-com" about an attractive (yes, attractive) zombie named "R", who falls in love — Romeo and Juliet style — with a non-zombie, causing a chain of events that could change their zombie-plagued, post-apocalyptic world forever.

Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Seattle-based writer/musician Isaac Marion and directed by The Wackness and 50/50 director Jonathan Levine, Warm Bodies hits Australian cinemas on April 11, 2013.
